rich rating and law enforcement career in North David. Same time we want to
acknowledge your recent high school oh. Graduates some of them we we all go
somewhere along the line we wish them the best. Just a quick P.S.A.
Regarding the. Traffic sign thefts. It really is more than
a prank if. Someone steals
a stop sign for instance and if there is an accident there results in some type of
damage or injury or death. The individual is going to be criminally liable in the
lobby for the people watching to the. Florida Busy case that happened not all maybe
1012 years ago where
a couple teenagers went to jail for 15 years we had something recently were stops I
was removed from the intersection of pool and Blakeslee there was
a result but actually it was minor in nature Fortunately. But if you can't
I don't people want to state this as trophies or tokens but you can't take them.
One throw it out there so Mom or Dad sees
a stop sign in the garage or in the basement or in
a bedroom. And you know like this it's stolen less you bought it somewhere you can
assign it real quick. On Middletown 17 and spread the secret feed put
up there I don't know if it's been removed or not retro but
a couple times it's obscene and it's got like
a letter 12. Could you have made it into something red paint on them and
they did you know most of the traffic signs boards busy you know it's really nice
on a utility when I was
a generator I guess it's right on 17 it's really visible and it's very seen in the
sky couple of letters or something but it would have something Jeff yes here we
could have something to take
a peek at it probably if it's the utility box on is it on cloud when it's on spring
and set. Until that 17 OK it's really it's in black letters it's really old and
it's already offensive so chirpy guys may take
a look at it if they're not like I said I'm not sure it's Donna not watch them you
know I wash I don't think they've got some red and white stuff on top of their so
I'm sure. We re Joseph there the other day you know right now and so yes so are
some significant We're going to see you're still up there if it does occur Thank
you. Regarding our budget our budget is. Is to cling
next week and. We are going to. See a price for $1.00 to $1.00 and
a half percent of their budget so. If we have
a line there. And that's
a percentage that's not dollars. Uniform Services Yes you
overdose again oh we had to this past month. Both persons were administered
a narc into
a product and they survived fortunately. But that's something that
continues to haunt us and many other communities. The major crimes
continue to be in
a downward path we did investing one commercial. Burglary
significance this past this past month and that was that the 18th tee stored on
a universal drive. Several $1000.00 worth of product taken
in
a matter of minutes. In the. Past month we also had 4 vehicles
that were stolen. vehicles Ready unlocked keys are left inside 2 of the
4 actually turning one on one at
a convenience store ready and I think one of the hopes for stealing
a service station or gas station to. Try to think where the 2nd one was.
I don't like our cars Scott take your keys or you know secure properly.
Far is the. Image and the the ridge road.
Schedule for for some type of traffic calming it's. The road
was originally scheduled to be built in pay from old one north 206 well Avenue the
town is now expanded that project to include Bridge Road from Skip streets who
Bridge Road I'm sorry as skiffs to be fixed to Dick's will so that's
that's going to be
a project it's going to be building paved. In July and that's when the markings
that you voted last month will take effect. Also in that same
same vein the. Electronic. Speed signs and traffic counters that
were purchased by the town we did purchase for them and they could come in they
have to be assembled. And Sergeant de Pascoe will take care of that when he returns
from his vacation so should should be going up relatively soon.
The new stop signs in the no parking signs that were approved last month the one at
the Amazon and difficult Park Road. Stop Signs been taken care of the no
parking. Signs on McDermott road are road being installed this
week. We had
a traffic signal light that was out for several weeks down on your 1st drive and
2nd Point Road and
a good part of that was because the traffic signal there is is so most 30 years old
farts were hard to come by. They were. Able to cure that. And.
You know we have all together we have like 8 town lights and we'll most all
the other lights are our state signals so we have heat plus there's 2 with the far
off your farm houses some of these are old and. You know they're they're hard to
come by the ports are hard to come by so everybody's going to bear with us and. It
would put
a stop signs out there fortunately. We didn't have any any traffic at Exeter.
She says you have
a question about the 4 monitors which is for speed were to be placed on the of the
arteries are they protesting against You're going to result they are portable we're
able to move them. So you're more areas here having one when it's all we have we
have
a dozen areas in town where we're constantly being asked if we would put them up.
They will conditionally look to the collector roadways for once
a week we regularly have complaints about the ones that. Carry more traffic than
the streets and I don't know if you could mention it but the Stop you were talking
about stop signs and last time we talked about what about Kings Highway Yeah it was
going to be
a no park I'm sorry now you know and. The traffic surging think at that when yet
but we have time to work on that I you know I just tired to death and we want to
continue to to what we want to reach out to the residents and. You know make sure
that they're they're on board with it as well. The neighbors.
And 2nd speaking
a 2nd Point Road at the route crossing. The weekend of September 14th 15
in the final weekend of September 2122 other going to be replacing the rail
and the great cost. There so. From the 14th which is the
Saturday ready at 8 o'clock and I suppose the 15th which is Sunday at 12 the.
Second Point Road will be. Closed to through traffic. Between.
Universal drive and State Street. For that 12 hour period for that
16 hour theory whatever subsidy. People want to Grayle the following weekend
they'll go back and they'll do the because there's 2 lines there. And they'll do
this the 2nd so the following weekend the same thing. The only way we keep that
open. Otherwise they would shut it down for for
a number of days and just can't do we have the post cards at both ends we will post
a car at one end and no likely be universal. Second Point
Road is out of the sari night at 8 o'clock folks will be coming out of shopping or
they'll be leaving the universal theater already the restaurants down there and
they're going to need some direction to get around the detour. That the where road
can pretty much block off sac appointed road. And State Street which we don't which
probably. Will have at least one have at least $11.00 of us are there any in track
who will have. Offices there as well.
OK we just mentioned the electronic signs. We have our records and
professional standards in training. Officer Burke is completely his training today
is field training today he'll be on soul ready patrol this Friday. While. Sure
Stevens is graduating from the Milford 7 way Cademy on July 10th. And.
After. Officer Mateo. Mateo began his
her ex he's halfway through his just 22 and a half we. Trade session at
a post. And. Our new recruit.
March quarter she's going to begin her training in July 5th So as you can see we
have. We have a lot of junior officers
a lot of people. Think we're talking about this last week where he mentioned
answers from the 8 or 9 officers that. We've. Hired and been
replaced we have officers who have retired. In the past year and
a half. The species on the officers none of them if it worked at the old station so
when the building opens up. To be the 1st time they wanted to the building it's
kind of an interesting you know for smaller community. If
a 3rd of your patrol divisions. There are steps step foot in the building.
Speaking of that the radio and the building schedule is. Were running
within budget were looking at. Training of our our personnel or what
they would call owners training starting tomorrow Thursday so. Our command
staff will be. Meeting with. Different. Trades over
there to find out probably more of the the mechanicals than the idea like the
electrical the the the plumbing the facts stuff. Not so much how to fix it but when
it breaks who to call. So we have to do was go through the building we have to
familiarize ourselves with. What fun is open what doors. You know
what cameras are. Or recording what So there's. 2 days worth of
training just for us fortunately they're going to provide us with
a. Some type of either a thumb drive or
a recording of of all of this so that 2 or 3 years down the road. If there is an
issue we can refresh ourselves so that that's going to that's going to start
relatively quick. That said that leads into our moving dates and are
moving the date at this point where. We should have after the
weekend of the holiday after the July 4th weekend we should. Have access to our
offices I would think by then where we can move some of our or private.
Boxes or files to the building the ones that are. You know.
When I complete personnel files and those kinds of things that need to be secured
we'll be able to get into the building at that point. That this so-called troop
Moving day is. July 15th it's
a Monday and then that's when. Our police personnel be populating that building the
following Monday's is when the cut over will be for the telecommunications and
radio and. I have to thank the deputy for that because he took care of all the
logistics as far as. You know arranging all busy the vendors and getting
everybody all buttoned up real tight. And it's the same time
a cattle call just on because I'm going to be on. Vacation and out of the country
but. That wasn't my fault that was
a fault of the builder being almost at the Late in the project. Wasn't it wasn't by
design
a promise. Of you can always change your plans yeah. You
have again so we should be by your next meeting. So we should be able to hopefully
move back to the classroom over there and. And and have our
meetings he leaves the street again. It might be tight but we should be able to let
you know at least
a week before where where we stand on that but I think we should be we should be
fine. And the question that.
Comes to mind at this point is. What might your thoughts be.
Recommissioning that building and. Having something of
a formal. I guess sound not
band or ceremony where we would invite our retired. Police officers.
As well as the current police officers and perhaps. You know. Obviously or
police commissioner retired commissioners we have
a couple ready of them that are still alive believe it or not from the 1960 S.
. Something to it that way I know of that were instrumental in the construction
of the building it it was the street back in 196-4965 so it had been
interesting to see. How those folks would would see this new building we also
have 4 officers I can think of. That were. We saw officers in north even when
the police department was in the basement of town hall and they were. Into the
street when it 1st opened in 1985 and I think it would be really nice to bring
those those 4 back in and have them part of. A formal ceremony so.
That in the oath there was something that you think would be worth doing. It this
is something that only happens once every 4 year 50 years. I think we should
commemorate and you know I was sitting with my over something. And he said
that he was they were going to because I asked about
a ceremony and he said that they were going to look into doing that so I don't know
if you found it was
a rather like my YES I WAS THIS IS IT BECAUSE I'M WITH YOU Never mind we'll talk
about but also he said The result was Valerie I guess would be in contact with you
guys as well to have sort of official ceremonial running at
a time I know very well how long is you know exactly the moment they know of
a life I've probably effect conversations with well you know I can't say she's with
the 1st like with you know over the past several months and we mentioned in an
informal you know discussions about doing something to her to bring back some of
the old timers. You know it in and let them see that the building to do something
conjunction with the event yeah and I think it I think it would I think it would be
best if it was some type of both
a formal ceremony of some sort it doesn't necessarily have to be coincident with
the repopulation of the building you know health is really at any time
a great reading funny writing and it might for Boise if. You know if we're going to
leave here or our telephone and our radio communications are going to be there what
you said 20302323rd if if we keep ourselves up want to at least get act.
Made it to the building ourselves perhaps we could do this like on us Sunday
afternoon maybe on Aug 25th or something like. That talking about the ceremony that
many if you took
a break in the. Entire people they had all morning at all I did same time you have
to guess so we were just 1st look and softness to get something or did it because I
think it probably would be something easier if if it was just done out of our
office OK you know there is something where we can. Respond is I guess you were in
Iraq was an event I was with you and I talked when he said that they would they
were going to take over as far as over there so it's pretty good to say that so.
If they want to do it for they know who you got that. Oh but yeah I will
talk to them on that but that would be if that would probably be the time to timely
because it be awkward if if we did it too soon. And then if we ourselves
are unfamiliar with our our new building Don't be
a walker so I think if we had if we had some time to just become
a little acclimated to sort of surroundings. Get comfortable and you know
if anybody had any questions the staff or the personnel that that are there and
talk to the issue you know see. You know what's this rule for I don't know you know
at least we can we can we can have
a good time. That's good. As far as the
author but Harry is going every scholarship I have done. For this month.
And the only other item I have to set the want to item. Personal
item 36 of session and that's. All that I would.
Thank you sir and he changed the commissioners and I just want to add that
consistently we fall. Under budget which is
a comfort to you guys especially with the stress of having this new situation
building and Officer out over time so. Hats off to you that's really official
apartment or the regulations.
So the only thing I'll say closing is for those of you who might be watching you
have a happy healthy and safe 4th of July and never
a motion to move into executive session over purposes of discussing personal
matters so move. Any discussion. All in favor.
And head requests are there you go. And vote motion to adjourn so most.
A discussion on favored by.
The preceding program is brought to you in part through
a grant from. The town of North even.
